An upgrade!

I've been pretty lazy in updating my blog. My sincere apologies to those who are looking out for more information here.

I've done quite a bit of work on improving my skills -- shooting more and more really does help you gain the confidence and knowledge you require to take great shots with a DSLR. You get to know your camera more and you also improve on your skills as you start getting familiar with your camera's functions.

I was at IKEA recently with my family shopping for a new cupboard and I chanced upon a LED light strip for bookshelves. I  bought one of it immediately 'cos it's simply too cheap!

Back home, the 'upgrading' project started. It was pretty simple.
I just had to find the right spot to place this light strip.

So, what is this upgrade about actually?

Well, I added the light strip to my dry cabinet!
Below are the before and after effects (pictures taken using a Canon Ixus 860IS):

For a $3.90 investment, I say it's pretty worth it!
And this is how the actual strip looks:

How I mounted the strip: Simply use double sided foam tape to stick the holder on to the top part of my dry cabinet. But before I did that, I felt around the cabinet for any slots that I can use and realized that there was actually a nudge around the top. That was the perfect location to stick the holder!

NOTE: Do be careful if you are going to feel around your cabinet. I cannot guarantee there are no sharp edges within the cabinet! Mine had none, and the edges were actually rounded to prevent any accidents! Kudos to Digi-Cabi!
